The Almac Group is an established contract development and manufacturing organisation that provides an extensive range of integrated services globally to companies within the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors. The services range from R&D, biomarker discovery and development, API manufacture, formulation development, clinical trial supply, IXRS technology (IVRS/IXRS) through to commercial-scale manufacture and companion diagnostic development.

The Challenge

The HQ site perimeter fencing required updating of specifications to include a system able to detect intruders. Due to the wide range of services hosted at this location and the 24/7 access requirements, a robust but flexible security solution was required to protect, visitors and staff. Due to the increasingly complex needs of the Centre, facility managers recognised the need to replace the security system to better meet evolving requirements and address a number of ongoing security issues. Together they specified a new, fully integrated security system, including a digital microwave intrusion detection solution.

The Solution

After a full assessment of the facility requirements and with the experience of having successfully delivered a number of other critical infrastructure projects a complete Sensurity integrated security solution was installed using HALO. The HALO solution was selected because of the it’s unique functionality, seamless integration, flexibility and expansion options together with the overall reliability it could provide. Providing reactive security across the most vulnerable areas of the complex was an important element of the project. By providing CCTV monitoring integrated with the equipment Facility Managers and Sensurity were confident that it would not only act as a deterrent against theft or assault, but also provide reassurance to those people using the facilities that they are in a safe and secure environment.

The Result

The installation was seamless, the system was delivered on time allowing for the site to be secured efficiently and allowing down time to be reduced to a minimum while the installation took place. Providing reactive security across the most vulnerable areas of the complex was an important element of the project.
